Description

I keep reporting every time they trash another street with the weekly advertiser, which Chuck Warpehoski tells me is now only allowed to be affixed to or placed between doors.
Last weekend they dumped bags of unsolicited newsprint on sidewalks, lawn extensions, and yards of:
Montgomery
Revena (south)
Virginia
Glendale Circle.
Fair St. (west part)

This week they trashed
Arborview
Revena (North)

and probably many more streets.

Please fine them for each violation instead of just telling them not to do it again and waiting for more complaints. Someone on your staff said to complain to their distributor, which accomplishes nothing. They keep violating the city ordinance and getting away with it.

Chuck said I do not need to provide photos or a list of all the addresses.
He also seems to be rather annoyed that the city is not enforcing the law.

I reported our street a while ago and they are now sparing us.

I have never met anyone who wants the thing, and many people are really upset about having trash thrown on their property every week to dissolve in the rain, clog snowblowers, or tip off robbers if they are not there to discard the trash. I object to the major waste of paper (environmental destruction).

When I find them on sidewalks I kick them into the road for the city to deal with. Someone in the waste dept once calculated (in the 90s) that it cost the city $5000/year to get rid of them at current recycling rates.

I checked 'trash on lawn' because that seems to be where they are aiming it but much of it is on city property, and some on driveway aprons or driveways.
There is no trash on our lawn any more.

I can't find the email address to send mails to directly. It is a nuisance having to start up a graphical browser and then allow several kinds of javascript to contact you.
